Samuel L. Jackson: "John Davis (producer) comes to me and says, 'We want to make a comedy.' I go, 'Well it's 'Shaft,' you know? Shaft is Action adventure.' He said, 'Well, action comedy.' I said, 'OK, fine. As long as we don't make him a buffoon we can see what we do with that' and he said, 'Well, three generations of Shaft. A son that he's been kind of disconnected to and you have to teach him how to be a Shaft.'"
